Notes
- Prepping all of the ingredients before assembling the sandwiches will make for a more efficient process.
- Feel free to customize the ingredients to your liking. Olives, tomatoes and/or hot sauce are great additions.
- If you want to control the amount of dressing, prepare in a separate bowl and add to the sandwich ingredients gradually, until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Be careful not to add too much vinegar/submarine dressing as the mixture will become too watery and cause the bread to become soggy.
- Once all of the ingredients are combined, adjust the creaminess, if needed.
- For added texture, toast the rolls.
